Popular Jokes #39

This February 1971 humor digest from Marvel promises "Fresh and Breezy Entertainment!" with over 200 cartoons, jokes, quips, and eye-sometrics packed inside. The cover sets the comedic tone perfectly: a sheepish young man in a blue suit clutches his hat nervously while a glamorous red-haired woman in a form-fitting red dress delivers the punchline — "Don't feel badly, Jimmy; I joined a Computer-Dater Club once and almost got my escort!" It's a charming snapshot of early-'70s gag humor, light on its feet and clearly aimed at anyone who appreciates a well-timed one-liner.
